3.27 first gear would probably be to low if ou have a ton of low end torque.first gear would be useless. 2.95 first would be better off unless you like effortless burnouts.

Isn't 2.95 the ratio for a FRPP T-5? Please tell me you aren't using a T-5 with a blown stroked windsor?

Mustang T5 ratios are 3:35 or 2:95 - the 3:27 is for a Tremec 3550/TKO.

If you have a choice, the 2:95 is prefereble due to the closer ratios of all the gears.

Hey guys i have the TKO and mine has the 3:27 thats why i was wondering if the 2:95 was better, see the thing is a buddy of mine gave me his 2 month old TKO with the 3:27, he gave it to me because he blew his 2nd gear syncro, i was going to rebuild the thing to have a spare for my car, This TKO tranny has held up rather well in my car, it is a pretty good tranny, thanks
